📚💚 Great things happening in Mrs. Freel's 7th Grade ELA! Our Falcons have been reading Touching Spirit Bear and working through “Mild, Medium, and Spicy” challenges to dig deeper into the story! Students teamed up at whiteboards to share ideas, find evidence to support their thinking, and look at different perspectives. They also gave each other feedback and used technology to help improve their responses. Love seeing our Falcons working together, thinking critically, and taking their learning to the next level! 💚🤍🦅 #FalconsFlyFar

📚🌎 Creative Thinking in Book Club! Our Book Club students are wrapping up their Dystopian Unit by creating their very own dystopian societies! Students put their creativity to work by designing a society using the characteristics they studied, creating a map, and writing a short story from the perspective of a character living in their world.
